I am thrilled to share my experience working with Richard. My husband and I were first-time homebuyers in Manhattan, and we met Richard through a StreetEasy inquiry. From the very beginning, Richard impressed us with his professionalism and attention to detail. On our first day of apartment hunting, we only planned to see one unit, which we didn't love. However, Richard was prepared with three other similar apartments to show us that day. He listened carefully to our requirements and set up multiple appointments throughout the week. In no time, Richard found us a great apartment that met all our criteria. We put in an all-cash offer, which was accepted. As first-time homebuyers, dealing with a co-op board can be daunting. Fortunately, Richard was there to guide us through the process. He explained in detail what we should expect, and he answered all our questions patiently. What happened next almost changed our minds about buying an apartment. Once we signed the contract, I informed my landlord that we were moving at the end of our lease, which was four months away. Unfortunately, for reasons still unknown to us, the management company sat on our application for three months, causing stress for both us and the seller. At that point, I decided to pull the plug, and the seller refunded our deposit. Most agents would have walked away at this point, but Richard proved to be exceptional. He managed to find us a much nicer apartment just a block away, albeit more expensive. He negotiated a great deal and fast-tracked our application, and we were able to close a week before we had to move. If you're looking for an experienced agent who will go above and beyond to ensure a great outcome, Richard is the agent for the job. We couldn't be happier with our new home, and we owe it all to Richard's expertise and dedication. Sincerely, Emily & Josh

It's our pleasure to give a testimonial on behalf of Richard, our real estate agent who provided us with exceptional service during our apartment search in Manhattan. Initially, we met Richard at an open house he was hosting at London Terrace Towers. Although we were already working with another agent, we found Richard to be very engaging and professional. He asked permission to follow up with us, and we agreed. However, after our agent found an apartment we liked and put in an offer that was supposedly accepted, we told Richard we had found a place and thanked him for his time. Unfortunately, after two weeks trying to get a hold of our agent she informed us that her assistant forgot to put our offer in and we lost the apartment. We reached out to Richard extremely upset and shared our disappointment with him. I was done trying to buy a Pied a Terre. Richard was empathetic and asked if we would give him a chance, to help. Richard remembered exactly what we were looking for and understood why his listing didn't fit our needs. We fell in love with London Terrace but there was nothing on the market that suited us at our price. A week later Richard called us and insisted we meet him at the building. Richard somehow found our perfect apartment. The only issue was the owner wasn't ready to sell, We made it clear to Richard we wouldn't overpay since it was a Pied a Terre. Despite the 2012 market escalating, Richard was able to negotiate a great deal that satisfied both parties. Buying a Coop in Manhattan is no easy task, but Richard took us through the process and smoothed out all the bumps in the road involved in a Coop purchase. To be honest, if not for Richard's persistence and guidance, we would have regretted not buying our beautiful apartment. It's been ten years and we love our apartment and as Richard predicted, our apartment has increased in value. As property owners around the world, we can attest that real estate transactions in New York are on a different level. Having an agent like Richard to manage our expectations and stress differentiates him from all other agents we've worked with. Overall, we recommend Richard for his exceptional service, expertise, and professionalism. Sincerely,
JARED C.

I met Richard 11 years ago when my College roommate and I were trying to rent our first apartment in Manhattan. Being recent Graduates it wasn’t easy to find a landlord willing to rent to us but Richard managed to find us a great apartment at an affordable price. Since then we’ve done numerous transactions renting, buying and selling. His access to trusted Mortgage brokers and Attorney’s insured my transactions went smoothly. When I was looking to purchase a country home, Richard found a high quality agent that specialized in the area I was interested in and he did a great job. Richard stayed in contact with the agent until we closed. Richard is reliable, hard working and dedicated to his clients. He’s my go to person for real estate and I wouldn’t make a real estate deal without him.
